Codename: ICEMAN
Codename: ICEMAN, nowadays, it’s almost forgotten, and at one time it was an almost cult spy quest from Sierra.
You have to play for a secret agent Johnny Westland, sent by submarine to Tunisia, to scout the situation around the recently discovered large oil field and the mysterious rumors around him. However, this is only the beginning: then you have to expose the terrible conspiracy and save the American ambassador ...
The game is primarily entertaining by the number of locations that you visit. This is a real little "odyssey": there will be Hawaii, and the Pentagon in Washington, and, of course, Tunisia. Most of the game is to be spent on a submarine, not only exploring many of its premises, but also leaving its safe side.
Because then they will appear ... yes, you guessed it: Russians! As always, it is they, these terrible villains, who are to blame for everything. In this game they are shown so creepy that it becomes even funny. And in order to interfere with the insidious plans of the Communists, you have to wander the seabed in a spacesuit, explore the mysterious underwater caves and visit places that are hard to imagine.
The verdict is very beautiful (according to the schedule, including the “corporate” style of Sierra) and a fascinating quest, but does not get the highest score because of the too cranky “cranberry”. A number of points were not specifically mentioned - yes, the game is difficult and unusual, but fans of espionage adventures should like it.
